The rule states that all subs must report to the scorer prior to the first horn during a time out. I don't know how long this rule has been around but I'm pretty sure it's been in place as long as I've been officiating (15 years). It's difficult enough sometimes getting the players back on the court after a timeout. But add new subs reporting to the table to the mix and you would have an extremely disorganized and unstable situation.
However, I would be interested to know when the rule was implemented and if there were other reasons for the rule...if anyone knows.
